Loving You Despite Of

Kabanata I

Habang pinapanood ko sina kuya Dylan at kuya Raymond sa court, hindi ko maiwasan mapatingin sa gawi ni Arc. Nakaupo ito sa kabilang bleacher habang nakakunot ang noo. Medyo nagulat lang ako sa pagtawag niya kanina kay kuya Raymond kasi I think, sa loob ng tatlong buwan kong pagpunta dito, this is the first time na makita ko siyang medyo strict sa training. Usually kasi sobrang kalmado niya lang at tahimik.

He seems very serious. Siguro dahil malapit na ang laban nila sa basketball kaya kailangan na niya maging strict. But still, he looks different... and kinda pissed.

I don't know why he acts like there's something bothering him. Maybe, nag-away sila ni Shazney kaya badtrip siya ngayon. Nadamay tuloy si kuya Raymond.

"Raymond! Bilisan mo pa ang takbo! Paano mo maaagaw ang bola kung ang lamya ng kilos mo?!"

"Yes Cap!"

He is really pissed. Sa loob ng dalawang oras ng paglalaro nila, wala akong ibang narinig na pangalan mula sa kanya kundi Raymond or Marquez. Hindi ko tuloy maiwasan maawa kay kuya Raymond. I think he doesn't deserve to be treated like that. Nakikita ko naman na binigay niya ang lahat para lang maimpress si Arc.

"Move faster Marquez!"

"Opo Cap!"

Hingal na hingal si kuya Raymond habang hinahabol si kuya Dylan. Kuya Dylan is fast pero nahahabol naman siya ni kuya Raymond. I know kuya Dylan since birth at sanay na sanay siya sa mga pisikalan na laro. Lumaki siyang buhay athlete so sanay siya sa mga ganito. Unlike kuya Raymond, I think this is too much for him. Kanina pa sila all out maglaro at sigurado akong pagod na sila kanina pa.

It just that I dont understand Arc for being so rude right now. Kung tutuusin nga parehas lang naman sila magaling, halos magkalapit lang din naman ang scores. Kuya Dylan got 25 points while kuya Raymond got 20 points. It's not bad. So why is Arc so pissed?

He is being unfair.

This is not about the basketball anymore but... something personal. I don't know what happened to him why he is being rude to kuya Raymond. Pero hindi yun dahilan para idamay niya ang iba sa pagiging badtrip niya. He is being unprofessional.

"Ano ba naman yan Raymond! Can't you move faster?! Hindi ka pa rin nag-improve simula first day of training!"

"Sorry Cap"

"Just move faster!" sigaw niya.

Pansin kong nalungkot ang mukha ni kuya Raymond. Hindi ko masyadong kilala si kuya Raymond but he is kind and I like him. He treated me like how kuya treats me. He is gentleman too. He doesn't deserve that.

"Bilisan mo pa Marquez!"

Kita kong hingal na hingal na sila kuya sa paglalaro. I know basketball is not easy but this is too much for them! Kanina pa sila naglalaro!

Pagkalipas ng sandali ay tumayo si Arc.

"Ipagpatuloy niyo lang ang laro. I just get my things."

Tumango si kuya Dylan at kuya Raymond habang hinihingal. "Sige Cap." sabi ni kuya Dylan.

Pumasok si Arc sa locker room. Gusto kong makausap si Arc tungkol dito kasi I think he is being too much. Dahil pinalaki ako ni mommy na maging matapang, mataray and at the same time mabait, I think I can use that now. I can't just ignore how he treats other people just because of his personal issues.

Tumayo ako. I decided to go after Arc. Hindi naman napansin nila kuya ang pag-alis ko. Mukhang seryoso pa rin sila sa laro kahit wala na si Arc na nanonood.
